Nylon 66 GF 30 is a 30% glass fibre reinforced semi-crystalline engineering plastic with high strength and varied applications.

 

Key Features:

  • Very strong
  • Very rigid
  • Resistant to many oils, greases, diesel, petrol, cleaning fluids
  • Good dimensional accuracy
  • Very abrasion resistant
  • Good heat distortion resistance
  • Easily machined
  • Easily bonded

 

Glass filled nylon offers the following benefits over other nylons:

  • Heat stabilised.
  • Increased strength and stiffness.
  • Increased creep resistance and dimensional stability.
  • Increased wear resistance.

 

Temperature Range:

-40ºC to +110ºC, +240ºC short term


Applications:
Rollers, gears, friction strips, bushes, spindle nuts, piston guides, castors, impact plates, friction bearings, conveyor screws, cam discs, ropes pullys, plug parts, damping plates, bearings.
